Chief Executives of Milestone Company, a subsidiary of InterLink Holdings Company, a United Kingdom-based company, have briefed President Kabbah on their activities in Sierra Leone and new areas they want to explore and intervene.

The President of Interlink Company, Dr. Levy Nissim, said Milestone Company has been engaged only in the Sierra Leone business sector and are currently in diamond mining activities in the Nimikoro chiefdom, Kono District. Dr. Nissim said they have plans to expand into the Sando chiefdom, also in the Kono District with some additional investment.

Giving a brief background of Interlink Company, Dr. Nissim said the company is engaged in businesses all over the world, but mainly in eastern Europe and they are in oil exploration, agriculture, wood and mining, and are also involved in the development of medical centres.

The Managing Director, International Business Relations, Mr. Moshe Levy, who talked about other areas of intervention said they have plans to build an ultra-modern diagnostic centre in Freetown. He explained that it is important for the country to have a diagnostic centre because from their observations of the medical sector, the country has good doctors, but the problem he said, is not treatment but diagnosing. A very good diagnostic centre, he believes, will be good for the people of Sierra Leone.

Mr. Levy also disclosed that his company has expressed interest in the oil exploration bid, adding that they hope to build an oil refinery of substantial capacity.

He concluded by saying that their philosophy is to work with the people and that that is why they always offer joint business partnership with the local people.

The chief executives came to see President Kabbah in the company of British Members of Parliament, Honourable Tony Baldry and Honourable Toni Lawson
